Tattoo Sleeves and Earrings in IB

I feel like this is a topic that should be addressed especially in the post bandemic era with everything else that’s going on in corporate America. Do firms still frown upon these types of things or are these now “acceptable” attire? I can’t imagine these being a factor in not choosing a candidate especially with the DEI policies firms have now but idk and certainly wouldn’t want to risk it even tho I rlly kinda want a sleeve.

“DEI” means finding guys who fit the upper class frat bro culture as close as possible but just happen to have a different skin color or are gay. Or in the case of women finding upper class sorority girls. 
 

Avoid sleeves and earrings if you want a future in high finance.

I have no respect for a male with pierced ears that isn’t a rockstar or an athlete. When you’re rich and famous, normal rules don’t apply to you
